SUFF ERING CATTLE.
Perishing by Hundreds IN the Snow OF
the Northwest.
FoRr KEouGH. N. T., Feb. Ia

FORT kEoUGH, M. T., Feb. Ia.
In round numbers there were, on Jan. 1st,
200, 900 head of cattle and 25,000 sheep on
ranges north and south of the Yellowstone
river, within radius of 100 miles of this
point. Up TO date stock had not suffered
much from the severity of the winter, but
during January and the half OF February just
closing storms have been of Unprecedented
fr, ,quency and the temperature has averaged
the lowest for fifteen years. 1t is not posi-
BILE to accurately estimate the losses on stock,
but they have been enormous, in some places
amounting to practical annhilation of en-
tire herds. A Tongue river stock man says
AT Ignite, where nv herd is located, as far
as could see up and down the river, cattle
were standing knee deep in snow, unable to
obtain blade of grass for sustenance, and
gnawing the wood of willows as a last resort.
In space so yards square counted 20 dead
beasts. and a COW boy told me there were fully
1000 dead between Ignite and Moon creek
a frw miles above. Living cattle are almost
unable to move, as their feet and ankles are
a raw mass of bleeding flesh from having
been cut at every step by crusted snow.
They occasionally go upon the ice in search
of water, and finding an air hole, tumble into
the river Men cutting ice saw 80 cattle
drown in two hours. They could not be
driven away, as they were maddened with
thirst

Because they have a more sensitive organ

THE TEXAS ELECTION OUTRAGEs.
Ex-Governor Ireiand's Account of the
Affair.

ST. LOUIS, Mo Feb. IA.
Ex Gov. Ireland OF Texas accompanied by
90 citzens of Washington county, Texas.
passed through here Yesterday on their way
to Washington where they will appear before
the Senate committee which viii investigate
the charges of election outrsges made against
the citizens of that county by those repubi-
cans who fed the county for fear OF being
lynched and who CLAIM, to have been driven
out by democrats.
Ex Gov. Ireland says that at the close of
the election in Washington county, Lewis
Boltou, son Of candidate for county com
missioner, rode up to the precinct polling
place, dismounted and demanded admittance
to the polls. He was told to come in and on
opening the door was shot down in his tracks
by a negro named Hill. Eight of the occu-
pants OF the room were arrested and three of
them were subsequently lynched. Others
fed the country for fear of being similarly
treated and brought charges against the
democrats of the county that they were driven
out. The Ex-Governor says:
The whole story of those men is a pure
fabrication. Every statement that they have
made to show that they were objects of po-
litical persecution is absolutely false and
that will be easy to prove by ell of these
witnesses. They were not driben from the
country, but left there of their own free will
and desire.
WAsHrNGToS, Feb. IA.
The Texas investigating committee of the
Senate met this morning. but as some of the
members had other committee meetings to
attend it was decided, to postpone the exam
ina. ion of witnesses till 10 o'clock tomorrow

con mittee adjourned for the day.

For Which MIR. Cameron Wants the Tri.
bune to Pay Him $4,000.

New YORK, Feb. IA.
The suit of Alexander j. Cameron of Au-
gusts, Me-, against the New York Tribune
for $4,000 damages for libel, came up today
before Judge Ingrabam and jury IN the
supreme court. In May, 1885, Secretary
of the Treasury Manning appointed Cameron
as special inspector of customs at Aspinwall.
1t is charged that the Tribune subsequently
published an article headed "Mr. Manning
Mortiies Maine Democrats" and declared
that Cameron had swinded his uncle and
also defrauded the State of Maine while act
ing a. book binder. The Tribune also de-
nounced editorially the appointment of Cam
eron. Cameron claims the articles damaged
his reputation and lost him his position. The
case was adjourned until tomorrow.
